Intuinively, even if the car is repaired, the structural integrity of the occupant compartment or the energy absorption of the crumple zones may not be as good as new. Has anyone crash tested previously-crashed cars to compare vs same model new? Or are there statistics on this, such as driver deaths of previously crashed vs similar new vehicles?

Obviously, we're talking here about cars whose previous crashes were not severe enough to total them but were more severe than damage to a fully replaceable, peripheral part, like a bumper or side mirror. I assume there are crashes that fall into this middle-ground (e.g., partially crumpling crumple zones, possibly slightly deforming unibody frame but not enough to total the car).

Or do airbags that have been reset after deployment malfunction more than factory-packed, new airbags?

I find that I relax more in the car when I'm driving and let him deal with our children. Any views on girls always driving?

They go under the bumper to attach from behind and without drilling holes in the bumper. Do you know where to get these?

Thanks!

When I brought my car, I was told that I would need a oxygen sensor. Could that be the reason why my car isn't getting the pressure that it needs? I have had a complete tune-up. Before I contact a repairman, I would like to at least know what I should tell him to look for. The car ran fine for at least a month. Please offer any advice that you can.

My boss just called me for advice. Apparently, an employee was driving the company vehicle (a 96 Ford 150van, 4.9L w/ 300k miles), when the employee heard a "pop", and smoke started coming in through the vents.
I can also tell you that the van had developed a "miss" yesterday, like it had dropped a cylinder. I was planning on checking the plugs/wires/distributor today- before this happened.
Any relation btwn the two?

I have a big problem I hope somebody can help me, about a month ago the the finance company took my can because I was late with my payment for a week, also because they never received the proof of my insurance that I gave to the dealer and they where supposed to send it, I don't think they where supposed to take the car because my other payments where always on time and there was that confusion with the insurance, now they said that if I want to get it back I have to pay for the repossesion and they payments that I haven't made, what can I do?

I had not even 30k miles when all this started to happen. I traded in my Mitsubishi Eclipse turbo for this car because I thought I was making a better choice by switching to a Honda. But I never had not one problem with my Eclipse and sold it in perfect condition at 150k miles. Now I want to get rid of the Honda, my balance is $13,300 and they don't want to give me more than $13k for it.

Need some advice on what are my options.

I recently purchased an 2003 Ford Exposion and it only came with one key. The dealer wants $150.00. There has to be a cheaper way to buy a 2 dollar key.

The bike is spec'd with a 140/70-18 in the rear and it seems I am only able to locate tires in the 160/60 size. Will these work on my bike? Also, what would be the difference in riding with a bias-ply tire instead of a radial tire?
